Listen "Donald Trump Tries to Cancel World AIDS Day"
Episode Synopsis
Donald Trump has done something no US president has tried in more than three decades: he's pulled the plug on World AIDS Day. No federal statement. No public awareness campaign. And at the same time, global HIV agencies say American funding cuts have already left millions without access to prevention or treatment. On today’s podcast Daily, Tara Duggan asks what this retreat means — and why World AIDS Day still matters. She hears a special World AIDS Day message from Rory O’Neill — Panti Bliss — before speaking to Professor Fiona Lyons, the National Clinical Lead for the HSE Sexual Health Programme, about where Ireland stands and why this moment still matters. Later, activist Adrian Duggan joins Tara to talk about his own diagnosis at 17, the long arc of stigma, and the future of the Poz Vibes movement. 📌 Learn more about HIV and sexual health (HSE): 👉 https://www2.hse.ie/conditions/hiv/ 🎙️ Explore the Poz Vibe community & podcast: 👉 https://pozvibe.com/
